"I have ZERO complaints with the job that Choppers Tree Service LLC did for me. The crew was very professional and did exactly what I asked them to do, which was, lay down 2 large hickory trees, 1 large dead oak tree, and 2 medium black tupelo/gum trees, without hitting my pool fence, my storage shed and the wife's "She Shed". Additionally, I had them remove 3 large oak limbs that were hanging over the main house area. The work was completed in less than 5 hours! PS: Choppers Tree Service LLC was very quick to respond, give estimate, schedule my service, and complete task, all at a very reasonable price. Note: All trees and limbs were left where they fell per my request...firewood, Yea!"

"William and Shannon are awesome. Came out and gave a fair estimate for the work that needed to be done. William will not start charging until the lift is fully secure and he's ready to start cutting. Actually took about an hour to position/reposition to find the best spot. The tree (roughly 50 feet tall) was located between our house and the neighbors (space of about 20 feet apart). Job was completed in a very timely manner and I ended up saving $100 off the original quote. I would highly recommend giving them an opportunity for your next tree service. Thanks again to you both!"

"I had a tree that was leaning over my roof and 3 others that were dead. Mr Nelson came out and gave me a very reasonable quote and showed up on time. He went above and beyond taking care of my issues with the trees and the removal. I would strongly recommend Nelson Tree Co. to anyone who needs this service."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

No, you should never top maple trees. Topping injures the tree and leads to the rapid growth of a weak canopy, which can be hazardous to rooftops and utility lines. Removing the crown can also leave the interior bark vulnerable to sun damage, leading to insects and disease. A topped tree can also reduce property value and permanently damage the appearance of a tree.

You can start your search for a reputable arborist online by looking for professionals who hold the proper licensing and are fully insured. Next, read through some online reviews to see what kind of service the expert brings to the table, and confirm that they don’t have a history of complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Finally, you can ask the professional for a list of references and then call them to ask questions about the service, professionalism, value, and more that the expert brings to the table.

Pruning trees during the summer can be a bad idea because the new growth will take place during the hottest months of the year, which can stress your tree out. Similarly, pruning during the early fall can be a bad idea, too, because you’d be stimulating new growth when most trees are aiming to go dormant. 

Pruning recommendations will vary by the type of tree, but generally, waiting until winter to prune your trees is a good idea.

You can hire a professional arborist or tree removal service to cut down a tree to ensure safety, prevent property damage, and comply with all the local regulations. It’s highly advisable to always hire a professional, as tree removal can be extremely dangerous, especially for large or damaged trees. Certified arborists or tree removal experts have the proper equipment, training, and insurance to do the job safely and efficiently. They can also handle cleanup, stump removal, and obtaining the necessary permits.

The depth of tree roots depends on the species. Trees like oaks and maples can have root systems that grow down 20 feet or more. However, trees that grow in shallow soils will have roots that go only a few feet down. Research how your tree species grows in your climate area to estimate root depth.
